NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TM) ("Trigon" or the "Company") intends to complete a non-brokered private placement financing of up to 3,333,333 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.30 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of Trigon (a "Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.40 for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the Offering.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about August 2, 2017 and remains subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for exploration and development of the Kombat Mine, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Trigon is also evaluating opportunities to partner with a strategic investor and copper concentrate offtaker, as a potential funding source for the required operational restart capital.
